After saying goodbye to European markets 15 years ago (the last generation sold here disappeared in 2004), the Toyota Camry is back. Destined to occupy the top of the range of the Japanese brand, its prices for Portugal are already known.
Developed based on the new Global-Architecture K (GA-K) platform, it is shared with the similar Lexus ES. Available only in a body format (four-door saloon), the Camry, around here, will only be available with a hybrid powertrain.
It combines a 2.5 l gasoline engine (Atkinson cycle) with an electric motor powered by a nickel metal hydride battery, achieving a combined power of 218 hp and a thermal efficiency of 41%, with consumption standing at 5.5 to 5.6 l/100 km and CO2 emissions between 125 and 126 g/km.
Only three levels of equipment
Camry has three levels of equipment: Exclusive, Luxury and Limousine . The first offers an 8” infotainment screen, navigation system, 18” wheels, 7” TFT screen for the instrument panel, luggage compartment opening with motion sensor, pre-crash system (PCS), warning of lane departure, Adaptive Cruise Control and traffic sign recognition.
